1. Mix the plant milk with the apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to make the “buttermilk”.
2. Drain and rinse the jackfruit thourougly. If the small spongy triangles on your jackfruit is very tough use a sharp knife to remove it, however it is perfectly edible as well as the seeds.
3. Mix together the spices in a medium sized bowl. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the jackfruit.
4. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or you can leave overnight.
5. Carefully remove the jackfruit from the bowl reserving the liquid to use in the wet batter.
6. Prepare two bowls for the batter. In one bowl add the reserved buttermilk mixture and whisk in flour until smooth. In the second bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, and spices.
7. Meanwhile, heat air fryer, oil, or oven to 400F.
8. Working in stages, dip the jackfruit into the flour mixture, shake off the excess, dip into batter, then back into the flour. I suggest using one hand to handle the wet mixture and one to handle the dry. Repeat for all remaining jackfruit pieces. Cook until golden brown and crispy. See below for cooking options. 
9. Serve with your favorite sauce.

If Baking:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a sauce brush dab a light layer of vegetable oil (or vegetable stock if oil-free) on each piece of jackfruit. Flip over and repeat the process until all of the jackfruit nuggets are evenly coated.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then flip all the jackfruit nuggets and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown, brushing with more oil (or stock), if needed.

If Frying:

• Heat about 1 cm vegetable oil on medium heat in a large frying pan. Test the heat by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles immediately the oil is ready to fry.
• Working in batches, fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until crispy.

If Air-frying:

• Preheat air fryer to 400F
• Using a sauce brush dab a light layer of vegetable oil (or vegetable stock if oil-free) on each piece of jackfruit. Flip over and repeat the process until all of the jackfruit nuggets are evenly coated.
• Place in a single layer  and fry for 20 minutes flipping halfway until the nuggets are brown and crispy.
